Bus routes give more options to students and Columbia residents for transportation. While Tiger Line runs three routes and is mainly targeted at MU students, FastCAT provides routes elsewhere in the city. After Aug. 27, the new FastCAT route will cost $100 per semester or $1.50 per ride.

A Tiger Line bus, as seen through the wire mesh of the pedestrian bridge connecting Plaza 900 and College Avenue Hall, travels north Monday on College Avenue. The Tiger Line buses operate seven days a week and have three day and three night loops.
